>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/20/03 9:57 AM >>> Dear Louis Proyect, I am an Argentinean friend of Néstor Gorojoski. I am working for the Government of Venezuela. Venezuela is in the middle of a process of industrialization, and the government is taking an active and protectionist economic policy to achieve this objective (high import tariffs, control exchange rate, substitutions of major imports...). We need to explain the Venezuelan people that we are just copying the American historic protectionist policy to achieve economic development. We are looking for BIBLIOGRAPHY that explains how the United States develop its industries through protectionism since 1770 (specially during its first years -1770 to 1810-). Thanks very much Louis, FC -- <<<>>>
